Maoist couple, carrying reward of Rs 2 lakh, surrenders

Rourkela: A Maoist couple, carrying a reward of Rs two lakh on their heads, today surrendered before the police in Sundargarh district, saying they were “disillusioned” with Naxal activities.

“Their disillusionment with Maoist activities, the hardship they faced while staying in the forest and the futility of the armed struggle led them to surrender before the police here,” SP Anirudha Singh said.
